Green Day - Jesus Of Suburbia (Music Video)

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane over the Sea

Fender Stratocaster (made in Mexico)
Never buy a Fender unless you buy something equal to or better than an American Standard Stratocaster. ALL other Fenders are terrible. I hate them, it’s as if they don’t even try, they don’t even put Humbukkers or anything. Just a solid chunk of plastic and wood that you …
Street Fairie CD by Cree Summer
Anyone who’s seen the show “A Different World” (hit 1987 spinoff of sitcom, “The Cosby Show”) probably remembers the earthy, bohemian airhead named Freddy. Her real name is Cree Summer, and when you hear her slightly whiny, yet melodic voice on her debut album “Street Fairie“, you’ll …
Don’t Stop the Music by Rihanna

Disintegration, 1989 Album by The Cure

Sia - The Greatest ft. Kendrick Lamar (2016 Song)
